I thought I’d wear another one of my colourful dresses again. It’s possible that I got this dress from Winners but I’m really not sure. I guess we’ll never know. I got the sweater from H&M. My pink bracelet is from a Christmas craft fair at Steveston Community Centre in Richmond. My black beaded necklace and my small hoop earrings are from Claire’s. And my ring is from Boca Raton Designs at Greek Day. The guy eventually did respond to my message and said I could still exchange the rings for a bigger size at his next event. But I’m not sure what his next event will be. And I’ve already worn them. And once the heat subsides, they may not be too tight. So whatever.

I thought I would wear something red in my outfit today since tomorrow is Canada Day. I don’t know if you can tell but if you look closely you can see that my earrings are little Canada flags. I found them at Claire’s and thought they were cute. My red top is from Suzy Shier from several years ago. I just bought this skirt at Old Navy over the weekend. I think it may actually be the only skirt I have that fits me right now. Wearing dresses is so much easier. Less pieces of clothing to put together. My outfit doesn’t even really match right now but oh well. I was trying to find a sweater this morning and my mom looked outside and was like “Does it look like you need a sweater?”. But I explained that I like to wear one in the office because the temperature is good inside the building. I just grabbed this black Bryan’s cardigan before I left the house.

I unfortunately did not get a matching Canada flag necklace to go with my earrings, so I wore this key and rose Claire’s necklace instead. My bracelet is from Dollarama and my purple ring is from Boca Raton Designs at Greek Day. Yes, I’m still wearing it even though it’s too tight. I tried contacting the vendor, because I have his business card but I haven’t received a response. I don’t expect him to take it back, but it would be nice if he could let me exchange the second ring I bought, which seems to be even tighter than this one. Also I got my eyebrows done last week if anyone cares. Can you even tell or should I not have bothered?

I’m all pretty in pink today. Is it too much? Well if it is, I don’t care. I got this dress at Car Free Day on Denman Street a couple weekends ago. They had it in other colours, but the pink one was the most vibrant and just felt right for summer. The purple tank top I’m wearing under it is from Smart Set. My pink sweater is from the Plenty warehouse sale at the Vancouver Convention Centre on Easter weekend. I know it’s hot, but when I’m in the office, the temperature is more regulated so I don’t really notice the heat or humidity until I go outside. Maybe I should just leave a sweater in my office, since I don’t really need one when I’m outside before or after work.

I’ve been buying a lot of fancy jewellery lately. I got this necklace at Greek Day on Broadway yesterday. I have a similar one in blue that I got from Payless and I got complimented on it, so I thought I’d buy another necklace in that style. I bought a pair of matching earrings as well, but they are kind of heavy so I didn’t wear them. I knew they were heavy when I bought them, but I really wanted a matching set. Maybe next time, I will just wear them briefly for photos and then take them off. Instead, I decided to wear my pink flip flop earrings which are more lightweight. I got my shiny bracelet from Car Free Day on Main Street a couple weekends ago. I somehow didn’t have a pink or purple bracelet to pair with this outfit. We’ll have to change that soon.

I love this purple ring that I got at Greek Day yesterday. But it’s kind of tight. I didn’t realize until afterwards how tight it is. And I got a second ring in this size too. The guy selling them told me it would be okay because my fingers would be less swelled up in the morning when I put on the ring. But contrary to that, I felt like my fingers were actually more swelled up this morning and the ring felt even tighter. I tried on the ring on my left hand just to see the difference, and my ring finger on that hand is somehow fatter. I couldn’t even get the ring off, so I concluded that I must be married to myself now. I managed to remove it using some lotion. Is it possible to lose weight in your finger? Is that a thing? Maybe tight rings are like a corset for your finger? I don’t want to hurt myself though. But I feel like my finger fluctuates in terms of swelling throughout the day, because sometimes I feel like the ring maybe fits and other times I’m like nope, this is definitely way too tight. I wonder if the guy will let me exchange them. Except he doesn’t have a physical store and I don’t know what event he’ll be at next. What a fail. Maybe I’ll have to find someone who has a more slender finger than I do and bestow a lovely gift upon them. Or sell it because I paid good money for it. And also find someone who likes heavy earrings. Or just keep everything and suffer through the discomfort because beauty is pain.
